Developed by Rocksteady Studios, Batman: Arkham City builds upon the intense, atmospheric foundation of Batman: Arkham Asylum, sending players soaring into Arkham City, the new maximum security "home" for all of Gotham City's thugs, gangsters and insane criminal masterminds.

Set inside the heavily fortified walls of a sprawling district in the heart of Gotham City, this highly anticipated sequel introduces a brand-new story that draws together a new all-star cast of classic characters and murderous villains from the Batman universe, as well as a vast range of new and enhanced gameplay features to deliver the ultimate experience as the Dark Knight.

Batman: Arkham City is the follow-up to the award-winning hit video game Batman: Arkham Asylum and delivers an authentic and gritty Batman experience

Advanced FreeFlow combat: Batman faces highly coordinated, simultaneous attacks from every direction as Arkham's gangs bring heavy weapons and all-new AI to the fight, but Batman steps it up with twice the number of combat animations and double the range of attacks, counters and takedowns

New gadgets: Batman has access to new gadgets such as the Cryptographic Sequencer V2 and Smoke Pellets, as well as new functionality for existing gadgets that expand the range of Batman's abilities without adding extra weight to his Utility Belt

Arkham has moved: Following the closure of Arkham Asylum and Blackgate prison, Gotham's new mayor, Quincy Sharp ordered the relocation of all inmates to Arkham City - a sprawling new super-prison five times bigger than Arkham Island, enclosing a wide variety of industrial districts, iconic locations and Gotham landmarks

Play as Catwoman: Players will have a chance to indulge in their darker side and explore Arkham City as the infamous feline femme fatale. Complete with her own storyline in the main game, Catwoman's adventure complements Batman's central role and is seamlessly interwoven with his main story arc. She will also be playable in the challenge maps with her own unique combat moves, gadgetry and signature 'takedowns'

Featured voice over talent: Mark Hamill and Kevin Conroy reprise their roles as The Joker and Batman respectively

5Batman: Hardware Centric

This is an exceptionally good game, but there is a problem- it is massively demanding. I could spout off about how awesome my hardware is and how that makes me a better person because I can play this at full detail but I wont. I understand that a lot of PC gamers dont have the kind of hardware required to run this at full detail. So be warned- if you dont have the latest multi GPU and multi core CPU you are going to have to turn quite a lot of stuff off.

As far as the game is concerned though- it is pretty flawless. Arkham Asylum was an absolute triumph and set the bar for all licensed games of the future (so many rely on the identity of the license rather than the game play). This has taken that bar and raised it so high you will need some of Mr Waynes alter egos gadgets to see it- never mind reach it. At the price of 25 pound it is a steal.
